Ciarán Murphy

I would very much like to be considered for the position of Product Integrity Assistant that I recently saw advertised. I have included my curriculum vitae and thank you for taking the time to read it.

As you will see I have a wealth of relevant top level administrative experience. While working for the Royal Dublin Society as Membership Development Executive my duties included providing end to end administrative support in organizing, promoting and managing all RDS member events as well as all formal member business meetings on site. I managed and planned hospitality options during the Dublin Horse Show at the RDS Members' Bar (Main Arena), this involved hiring training and supervising new staff to ensure the highest possible standards were maintained for members and their guests. I organized networking breakfasts with notable key speakers Airbnb, AA Ireland and was in charge of strategically planning the Royal Dublin Society's attendance at the Balmoral Show 2015, The Ploughing Championships 2015 and The Irish Antique Dealers Association Fair 2014 & 2015.

I maintained an events survey and detailed membership database and regularly pushed for operations upgrades based on members feedback and personal research. I ran the administrative side of the RDS Library for over two years, supervising a team of four people on rotation. Other responsibilities I had included archival research, curating in house art and themed series exhibitions, as well as cataloging, preserving and processing library material.

I have also worked as European Customer Service Co-Ordinator for Avid Technology/Digidesign where my clients included Abbey Road, Pinewood Studio’s and the BBC. I was regularly called upon to represent our European operation at top American industry gatherings such as NAMM. During my time at Digidesign I participated in and took the lead on numerous projects to improve and add value to our VIP clients customer journey.

I feel that my many years administrative experience working for such companies as Philips Electronics, Avid Technology, AA Ireland and the RDS has given me a keen insight into how a professional, focused and efficient team operates. All my former positions have required a keen attention to detail and demanded a high level of communication skills. I have always used my own initiative towards the responsible functioning of a wider team. I am a conscientious person who works hard and has a critical eye for detail.

I have excellent references and would be delighted to answer any questions you may have at your convenience.
